NAME

fp - Sun Fibre Channel port driver

DESCRIPTION

The fp driver is a Sun fibre channel nexus driver that enables fibre
channel topology discovery, device discovery, fibre channel adapter
port management and other capabilities through well-defined fibre
channel adapter driver interfaces.

The fp driver requires the presence of a fabric name server in fabric
and public loop topologies to discover fibre channel devices. In
private loop topologies, the driver discovers devices by performing
PLOGI to all valid AL_PAs, provided that devices do not participate
in LIRP and LILP stages of loop initialization. The fp driver also
discovers devices in N_Port point-to-point topologies.

CONFIGURATION

The fp driver is configured by defining properties in the fp.conf
file. Note that you must reboot the system to have any changes you
make to fp.conf take effect. The fp driver supports the following
properties:

mpxio-disable

Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled on fibre channel
devices with the mpxio-disable property. Specifying mpxio-
disable="no" activates I/O multipathing, while mpxio-
disable="yes" disables the feature. Solaris I/O multipathing may
be enabled or disabled on a per port basis. Per port settings
override the global setting for the specified ports. The
following example shows how to disable multipathing on port 0
whose parent is /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4:

name="fp" parent="/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4" port=0
mpxio-disable="yes";

manual_configuration_only

Automatic configuration of SCSI devices in the fabric is enabled
by default and thus allows all devices discovered in the SAN zone
to be enumerated in the kernel's device tree automatically. The
manual_configuration_only property may be configured to disable
the default behavior and force the manual configuration of the
devices in the SAN. Specifying manual_configuration_only=1
disables the automatic configuration of devices.

pwwn-lun-blacklist

Allows you to specify target port WWNs and LUN numbers you do not
want configured. LUN numbers are interpreted as decimals. White
spaces and commas (',') can be used in the list of LUN numbers.

#
# pwwn-lun-blacklist=
# "target-port-wwn,lun-list"
#
# To prevent LUNs 1 and 2 from being configured for target
# port 510000f010fd92a1 and target port 510000e012079df1, set:
#
# pwwn-lun-blacklist=
# "510000f010fd92a1,1,2",
# "510000e012079df1,1,2";
